You should keep an eye on those fuel hoses or consider replacing them with factory quality pieces.
Or carry a fire extinguisher.

Subject: What is it?

Hello,
 
87 Syncro here. I noticed today that when the van was cold, fuel was dripping out of this device.  I’m not sure what it is.  I checked the fittings, they are tight. I assume it needs to be replaced?
